Hera and Zeus
craftsmen, blacksmiths, metal, metallurgy, sculptures, artisans, fire, and technology
he had no children
Hera and Zeus had one child together, Hephaestus. Well he was born weak and very sickly, so his parents didn't love him. Because Hera and Zeus didn't love Hephaestus, they threw him down Mount Olympus. He fell for 7-9 days and nights and finally landed on an island. Thetis found the baby and took him in. Hephaestus grew up to be strong and healthy, apart from his leg, in which was so badly hurt from being thrown off Mt. Olympus, that he could never use it again. He became the best craftsman ever known, so when Hera and Zeus found out about this, they invited him to live on Mt. Olympus once again. They gave him a huge workshop, and gave him Aphrodite's hand in marriage.
